I wonder if we should sync before the timer starts. |

Probably a good idea also. Should I add a separate option or rename it and then have it do both? |

I prefer one parameter to rule them all. |

In #1505 `tiny_profiler.device_synchronize_around_region = 1` was added to better measure timings on GPU using nvtx, however this would also be useful for the timings in TinyProfiler itself. Currently codes have to custom-add these syncs to get meaningful output from TinyProfiler on GPU https://github.com/Hi-PACE/hipace/blob/development/src/utils/HipaceProfilerWrapper.H

Summary
Now when setting
tiny_profiler.device_synchronize_on_region_end = 1in the inputs file, we will synchronize before calling nvtxRangePop() and nvtxRangePush(), which means that TINY_PROFILE regions will include the full kernel time, rather than just the kernel launch time.Additional background
